Describe how abiotic factors influence the distribution and abundance of organisms [BIOL 2060] Describe the basic features of competition and predator-prey interactions [BIOL 1030] Design a presentation Explain major gradients of species diversity in terrestrial and marine ecosystems [BIOL 2060] Provide examples of how biological interactions (competition, predation, mutualism) structure communities [BIOL 1011] Write a properly formatted CSE-style (Council of Science Editors) citation for a website, article or book; quote from and/or cite published material as appropriate; read an article from a scientific journal and discuss its content with classmates. [BIOL 1010] [BIOL 1011] Outline examples of positive (e.g. mutualism, symbiosis, facilitation) and negative (e.g. competition, predation, parasitism) biological interactions [BIOL 2060] Use raw data to produce summary statistics and plots [BIOL 2003]
Apply different laboratory techniques to characterize soft-sediment propertiesOutline the different types of intertidal habitats (i.e. rocky shore, soft-sediments, salt marshes and mangrove forests)Recognize the different species that are most typical of each of the different intertidal habitatsUse proper taxonomic literature to identify organismsDescribe anthropogenic impacts affecting intertidal habitatsDescribe zonation patterns in the different intertidal habitatsDesign an online profile of a species occurring in an intertidal habitat in Nova ScotiaOutline and explain the biotic and abiotic process that cause zonation in intertidal habitatsApply quantitative field methods to assess species diversity, abundance and biomass in rocky shores and soft-sediment habitatsUtilize PRIMER-E statistical software to analyze patterns of species abundance from a rocky shore
